>Description:
when installing a port, usually one wishes to use the most of packages with -P option in portinstall, and if you like to use that port in several installations (like in a shared packages archive), its a good idea to use -p  also.
but if a port require differents dependencies for building than for installing, portinstall doesn't look for binary packages at installing those deps even if you specified -P. The same happens with -p, portinstall doesn't make packages of each build dependency. i think it sould

>How-To-Repeat:

portinstall -vRPp <port>
